I’ve just stored a 6tb HDD full of photos. I might be able to remove more than half, but I’m too lazy to spend hours deleting them. Could the meta folder span across several drives? Or should I just move my older files and rely on the 6tb drive? Yes, I have external backups and online archives for the best shots.

You'll need to create a spanning volume first. After that, you can direct your pictures folder into the corresponding location within that spanning volume. How to convert old hard drives into a single large drive in Windows - CNET

The Windows Pictures folder refers to a library that may contain multiple subfolders.

Absolutely, that's exactly what I expected. I thought it might be a meta device instead of a folder. Familiar with this in mainframe and Linux, but less common in Windows.
